Shauna Gilmore

There is little more that Shauna Gilmore could have accomplished in girls swimming during her career at Grand Junction High School. She was the first Colorado female prep swimmer to go undefeated in both regular season and state competition for three years. She won six Southwestern League titles, six state championships and broke four state records.

Ms. Gilmore participated in student council, serving as representative, vice president of her class and co-secretary of the student body over three years. She was responsible for organizing GJHS's first Blood Donor's Day.

"I'm very excited and very honored to be included with such a distinguished class. I always felt that the activities I participated in made high school very rewarding. Participation really gave me a well-rounded education which I have utilized in college and now, in dentistry," Ms. Gilmore noted. "The rewards of participation were great, but to be inducted into the Hall of Fame is incredible."

As a basketball player, she was the starting forward for her sophomore and junior years. Suffering from shin splints as a senior, Ms. Gilmore chose to play tennis and won the district #2 singles title, earning a berth in the state tournament.

Ms. Gilmore earned a full-ride athletic scholarship to the University of Nebraska where she again excelled, earning All-America honors four times and winning 10 Big Eight championships.
